Installation
Before working on combine or under header always:
1. Perform all combine and header manufacturer
safety precautions for servicing header.
2. Insert stop to prevent movement of header.
3. Turn off combine and remove key from ignition.
4. Set combine parking brake.
5. Disconnect all drive shafts from the header.
Complete the header installation in this manual before proceeding
to the installation in the Combine or Horizon Manuals.
JD combines and heads 2016have the check valve for the deck plate circuit
moved to the head. Older heads may need to have this block added to prevent
deck plate drift on newer combines. Older combines may need the check valve
removed to prevent jerky motion with newer heads. See your JD dealer.

Installation

Mounting Sensors
Center Rows
Headsight recommends mounting all sensors to center rows due to the
amount of poly that must be removed from outer row snouts to install the
sensor. If outer row mounting is prefered, see Outer rows below
1. Mount sensor to HT2217 bracket and tighten bolts.
2. Loosely bolt rear U bracket to the HT2217 rear hole
as shown.
• 20”- use HT2218
• 30” - use HT2216
• Use M8-16 carriage bolt and flange nut
• Nut must be on underside of bracket
3. Remove OEM bolt holding snoot tip in place.
4. Install sensor assembly onto bolt and
reinstall loosely into snout.
5. Attach rear U bracket to threaded inserts.
6. Tighten all hardware.

Installation

Sensor Wiring
Properly routing the wiring is the most critical part of the installation process.
Please take time to ensure that you have allowed sufficient slack for motion
as well as sufficient clearance from moving header parts or crop flow.
Harness Length Table
1. Select appropriate wiring from chart below and mark blue connector with sensor position.
Standard Sensor Routing
Header Width Left Left Center Center Right Center Right
Up to 20'17'17'33'
21–30'23'17'17'23'38'
31–40'38'17'17'33'33' and 10'
41' and up 38'23'17'38'33' and 17'
Removing Wires for Tight Access
When routing the wiring, there may be times when you would like to route the wiring
through a small hole. You may remove the Weatherpack connector by using the following
procedure. This step is NOT required; it is only shown to aid installation as needed.
1. Release wire retaining clip on each connector. Insert
removal tool and pull each wire out of connector.
2. Flare connector terminal tabs using removal tool.
3. Reinstall wires in connector body:
• Black or Blue into A
• White into B
• Green or Pink into C
4. Latch wire retaining clip.

4. If routing wire along bottom of snout, fasten wiring
with cable clamps on both sides of the connection.
• Allow slight (½”) slack near sensor
• Fasten off to side of snout to prevent damage
from sensor arm movement
10
Installation

5. Install clamps as shown.
• Positioning of clamps is critical to avoid it
catching on the hood when folding

existing hole to rear of header
• Make sure to adequately clamp wiring
to prevent rubbing or pinching
• If necessary, route wiring through a steel conduit to
protect it from debris–especially on chopping headers
• Route to left of combine feederhouse
• Secure wiring with cable clamps and zip ties
approximately every 12–24” as needed
10. Repeat steps above for each sensor.

Installation

Sensor Adjustment
Insert header stop to prevent movement.
Changing Swing
1. Loosen the bolt A holding downstop.
2. Slide the downstop to new position in slotted hole.
• Raising downstop will increase voltage swing
and allow higher maximum cutting height
• Lowering the downstop will decrease total voltage
swing and help prevent arm from stabbing
the ground when the headers is lowered
Increasing or Decreasing Voltage
1. Loosen sensor mounting nuts B.
2. Twist the sensor to new position using
the slotted mounting holes.
• Twisting sensor clockwise will lower voltage
• Twisting sensor counterclockwise will increase voltage
3. Re-tighten the nuts B.

Sensor Adjustment

Sensor Extensions
Headsight recommends using the lowest setting that allows you to run as high as you
desire. Increasing the length of the extension will reduce header control sensitivity.
1. Remove flange lock nut then remove arm and spring.
2. Install extension to sensor assembly with
previously removed spring and flange locknut.
3. Install arm in extension with two bolts and
nuts as pictured at desired length.
• Headsight does not recommend extensions
unless you need to run higher
• If you desire to operate header higher then
sensors will allows, you may add extensions
